Hello everyone, I have a question concerning employment history. I have been unemployed for almost two years. October will actually be two years for me. I plan to go through company sponsored training with swift in the beginning of September. I want to know if my unemployment history will be a problem. No convictions, dui , traffic violations, or anything else that would hold me back, just unemployment history.
If Swift REALLY will sponsor you, then it shouldn't be a problem. However, you might have to explain what you were doing for the past two years. Unemployment for a great amount of time, is usually a negative.

A Company-Sponsored Training Program is a school that is owned and operated by a trucking company.
The schooling often requires little or no money up front. Instead of paying up-front tuition you will sign an agreement to work for the company for a specified amount of time after graduation, usually around a year, at a slightly lower rate of pay in order to pay for the training.
If you choose to quit working for the company before your year is up, they will normally require you to pay back a prorated amount of money for the schooling. The amount you pay back will be comparable to what you would have paid if you went to an independently owned school.
Company-sponsored training can be an excellent way to get your career underway if you can't afford the tuition up front for private schooling.
